Disclaimer: Most people who have EVER gotten up a wall are better at this than me. Even some people who have never gotten up a wall are better than me. I am slow, boderline incompetant and inefficient. That said, if you're still interested read on....

I'm off to Yosemite in a few weeks and need to get out around Denver/Boulder to brush off the cobwebs a bit and do some aid pitches. Unfortunately, I have lent my entire aid setup to my partner for Yosemite, who is currently in the UK.

So if anyone has all the gear but not sure what to do with it hit me up and we can go play in Boulder Canyon or something. I'm no Mark Hudon and my systems are not the slickest but they are safe and they've got me to the top of a few walls including some solos.

Cheers,
Jane

Are you able to get out on Tuesday after 11, Thursday after 10 or all day Friday?

I've had the honour to bump into Jane on a wall twice. And for those that haven't read her trip report, she has soloed El Cap. So she knows what she is talking about and if you are an aid novice I recommended you take the chance to team up.

What are you looking at in Yosemite in a few weeks? Just curious. I like seeing these aid climbs, but having done some hours of aid over many days I know it's not my bag. Still love the pictures.

Good luck on getting some pitches in. You can certainly practice your rain gear usage at the moment.

I'm afraid I'm in work this week until Wed then off to Moab for a few days. Free again starting the end of next week.

Its just a wee weekend trip, hopefully going to do Skull Queen with my friend. Need to up my send to bail ratio, until 2013 I was 8:2, now I'm 8:5!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
